Top 20 Songs of July 2015

Every month I comb through all the new releases and personally select the top 20 best songs released that month. Then I lovingly craft them into a play list for your--yes YOU--listening pleasure. It's like a mixtape of the month club, but via the interwebz. Follow my Best New Music of 2015 playlist on Spotify, for all the updates and rad new tunes.

Life is short for me, and for you, so rather than wasting your time with my musical pontification, I thought we'd try a TLDR version of this month's top tunes. What do you think?

'So Good' - Beat Connection : If you were looking for a summer party jam, look no further. This really is so good.

'Holding On' - Julio Bashmore featuring Sam Dew : Old school disco samples at a new school BPM with distinctive falsetto vocals that ring like a bell.

'Weathered' - Jack Garratt : Though provoking lyrics, epic use of the crescendo, and intriguing use of electro beats.

'Come Down' - Wavves and Cloud Nothings : Wet dream of a post-punk collab finally comes to glorious fruition after much internet rumors. Act like you don't care about anything, but you secretly really care about this.

'We Made It' - Born Ruffians : Now over a decade old, but these Canadians still go big with little to no fi.

'Closure' - Jill Scott : She's back and badder than ever! Pure sass with your morning after breakfast (or lack there of). If she did a song with Leon Bridges, I might just die.
